Today is Titanic Remembrance Day. No surprise there, for it was in the early morning hours of April 15, 1912 that the unsinkable Titanic ended her maiden voyage at the bottom of the sea. She wasn’t the first ship to sink, nor the last. Yet the Titanic is that tragedy that we seem to be drawn to, seeing her through Rose-Colored glasses and a romantic heart.
Asparagus with Hollandaise Sauce
On Easter Sunday, Hubby made a request. He doesn’t ask much of me in the kitchen, let’s me be the one to plan the meals and eats what’s placed before him. However; that morning he did make a request. He wanted steamed rather than roasted asparagus, and he wanted me to make a silky Hollandaise Sauce.
Liquid Smoke Spice Rubbed Country Ribs
I can think of a host of reasons to be bummed during this Pandemic Isolation. I miss all the weekend fairs and festivals, especially the little Farmer’s Markets and Antique Street Fairs. I miss walking about up in the foothills, exploring all the quaint little mining communities. I miss wine tasting and the fellowship of Sunday Mass.
Change it Up Beef Burgundy Pearl Onion Stew
When this whole Pandemic lock down began, Hubby and I took stock of everything we had in the house. The more meals I could create using what was on hand, the less times we would need to be exposed to our fellow shoppers at the grocery store. It just made sense.

What Does Spring Taste Like?
To me, spring is bright sunshine and sweet berries. I know, berries really are more a late spring into summer thing, but still that’s what I think of in the spring. I think lemon is like a kiss of sunshine.
Celebrating Colorado Day
It’s that day again, National Colorado Day. Comes around every year on April 12. This year it just happens to take a back seat to Easter. Still, I did not want to overlook the 38th state of the Union.
Welcome to My Easter Table
While my table is set, we won’t be hosting a gathering in our home this Easter. Like the rest of the world, we are together in spirit if not in the flesh. Perhaps next year.

When I saw this adorable Brownie creations from the Betty Crocker Kitchens, I knew I had to share. It was just too cute. And it reminded me of my childhood. Just a little something to think about for tomorrow.
Holy Saturday’s Easter Vigil
As a Christian, today is a day of sorrow and of joy. Joy in the belief that Christ is the Risen Lord. Sorry for having caused Him pain and suffering. The reason that Catholic Churches have the Crucifix displayed above the alter rather than an empty cross is to remind us of the price of sin.

In addition to Good Friday, this is also my Mother’s birthday. She is with the Lord. I wish I could bring her flowers, but I’m not sure what the restrictions might be as far as unnecessary travel.
Good Friday’s Humble Vegetable Soup
Traditionally speaking, Good Friday for Catholics is a day of fasting and prayer. Once upon a time, fasting meant just that – to fast, to go without food or drink. Over time, the rules governing fasting have changed, mainly for heath reasons. Now fasting is defined as one reduced meal, with two smaller meals that together do no make up a meal. This modified form of fasting is a requirement for all Catholics beginning on their 18th birthday, ending on their 59th year.

Holy Thursday Roasted Supper
One of the traditions in our house is to have some sort of roasted meat on Holy Thursday. We aren’t lamb eaters; although I do love Lamb Gyros. Kiddo has to be in the mood for a Lamb Gyro, and Hubby says no way. He’s not really keen on strong flavors.
Mini Flower Easter Pastry Tarts
Happy Hump Day! The closer we get to Easter, the more excited I become. And that surprises me. I thought for sure I’d be sad, separated from my extended family on this most Holy of Celebrations.
Holy Wednesday Empanada Day
Each year on April 8, we celebrate National Empanada Day. The name Empanada comes from the Galicia, Portuguese and Spanish verb em pandar, which means to wrap or coat in bread. Empanadas are made by folding dough or bread around a seasoned filling. The Empanadas are then baked or fried, like savory hand pies.
